QuoteWilliamPatrickMaynard Quotedcba they knew the price was taking the fall for the star because the show must go on and the price of partying with the star is taking the fall for him. . Thank you. That's the bottom line. That was always the deal and everybody knew it.

Best Stones concert movie ever. And I've got 'em all and I saw most on the day of their release. Absolutely loved it. Keith and Ronnie giving it their all, and Jagger, doing his over the top punk/coke/sex/crazed-rock-star schtick. Mick the ultimate Agent Provocateur, to borrow a French phrase. Websters Dictionary: Provocateur: "One who provokes". Back in 1978, he provoked

The fellow on the Gibson Flying V is none other then Chuck's son. Carnaby, thanks for posting these great shots from Blueberry Hill in St. Louis. I saw Chuck perform there last Wednesday. Johnny Rivers showed up, very cool. I have tickets in my hand for his upcoming show on November 16th. Let It Rock.

The Mersey's "Sorrow" was a cover of The McCoys version of the song their producers wrote (Bob Feldman, Jerry Goldstein, and Richard Gottehrer) It was the B-sde of The McCoys smash hit "Hang On Sloopy".....which was a cover of The Vibrations R&B original hit "My Girl Sloopy" on Atlantic. "My Girl Sloopy" was written by Bertrand Russel (Bert Burns

Well, since no one's mentioned it..... "Stoned" (Nanker, Phelge) is a straight rip of Booker T. & The MG's "Green Onions" (Cropper, Jones, Steinberg, Jackson). I always thought it was super groovy that these guys did a cover of an early Stax hit. A few months later they did "Walking The Dog", of course, another Stax hit. I also thought it was cool t

QuoteBliss So...you think Prince Rupert, with his three piece bespoke Savile Row suits, his gold pince-nez, his Oxford education, background in elite merchant banking, and his aristocratic clientele is a natural choice and logical member of the Rolling Stones inner circle, circa 1969? Yes, obviously. Yes. A perfect choice. And thanks go to Mick on that one. Without the Prince straightening

Very cool, Mick is back on the charts and he turns 68 years old tomorrow. Now there's something I wouldn't have thought would happen back in 1969 when I bought Through The Past, Darkly....that is, Mick Jagger having a brand new hit single in 2011. What a great ride it's been. I continue to root for the home team and they continue to deliver. Even as they approach 70 years old. Fr
